Energy Efficiency is one of the most cost-effective and tangible options available to organisations that are looking to improve their sustainability performance.
Although cost-effective technology is available and many energy efficiency improvements can be made through low-cost behavioural change initiatives, the full benefits of energy efficiency are typically not realised in organisations.
Education has an important role to play in improving the uptake of energy efficiency in organisations. Energy efficiency-related skills and knowledge are required by engineering and other operational staff to identify and evaluate projects. Accountants have a role to play in helping to develop robust business case proposals for energy efficiency projects. And managers at all levels need to understand the business drivers, risks and opportunities that can be addressed by improving their organisation’s energy efficiency performance. Across all of these different skills sets and professions, people need the skills and knowledge to understand their organisations and to identify the best way to implement change that overcomes barriers and helps organisations achieve the full benefits of energy efficiency.

The Energy Handbook and Energy Efficiency Supplement have been jointly produced by The National Framework for Energy Efficiency (NFEE) and Swinburne University of Technology.
The handbook aims to engage individuals in developing an understanding of energy to solve a variety of challenges and develop opportunities related to energy conservation and efficiency at home and in the workplace.
Energy is not a new concept, but progressively more educators, industry workers and community members are requiring an understanding of energy and a greater level of energy literacy to engage in daily activities at home, in the wider community and in the work place - irrespective of the industry sector. Energy literacy supports an understanding of the role of energy in daily life and the implication for energy use in achieving a sustainable energy future.
